PSY 622 Interview Questions

Hey, all

I found some of these questions on my buddy file for those of you (like me) who haven't done your interview for PSY 622 yet:

Questions:

How long have you been at the church?

What is your role at the church?

How do you view scripture (literal, infallible, absolute authority)?

How do you view the Trinity?

What is the Holy Spirit’s role in the world…in people’s lives…Christians and non-Christians?

How do you incorporate Scripture and Theology? Is Theology useful?

Have you had any formal education in the field of Psychology?

How much counseling do you do as a pastor?

Is there a place for secular theory within Christian counseling?

Do you believe a pastor or counselor can use both scripture and psychology?

~Do you use Scripture when counseling?

~Do you use secular psychology when counseling? Etc.

Can lasting change occur in a person without the incorporation of Scripture?

Where do you believe Scripture fits into psychology?

What is your stance on medicating people who struggle with depression or some form of mental illness?

Would you refer a member of your congregation to a professional counselor?

Would you refer a member of your congregation to a non-Christian therapist?

Sire reading / summary groups

Here is our  (Ryan and I 's)solution to avoiding lots of reading.  Read the attachment to see which groups you are in.  The chapter is what you will read and write a summary on for the class.  Please be detailed and thoughtful in writing these as you only have to read the one chapter and write the summary.  I will also post this on the blog. Email summaries and we will designate/decide upon times to discuss.
 
 
Reading and Summary Groups for The Universe Next Door  (Sires)
·         We recommend that everyone read the introduction and the conclusion.

Group 1: Will, Micheal, Alex- Chapter 2 “Christian Theism”
Group 2: Laurel, Stephanie- Chapter 3 “Deism”
Group 3: Shelley, Jaimie, Michelle – Chapter 4 “Naturalism”
Group 4: Branden, Jason, Pablo- Chapter 5 “Nihilism”
Group 5: Leah, Christina, Josh– Chapter 6 “Existentialism”

In Him,
Betsy

Reminder: it's about the Gospel.

Hola chicos,
just wanted to encourage you to keep being brave in your studies. Last week a group of us got a chance to pray over Philipians 3,

But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him.


Though we've not "loss everything", the Father's love has inspired us to step away from our comfort zones and study to become counselors - all for the sake of the Gospel. So, as we go through this intense period of studies, I pray we find our confidence and security in Christ who's chosen us as his vessels.  


"...in order that (we) may gain Christ and be found in him."
